Wednesday Walkers

TWW 4th August 2026

 

Well that really was the most pleasant weather. Who would have thought we would relish a walk in the rain? A fine team set off from Postbridge with the promise of cooler weather and showers. Out along by the East Dart to the gate to the open moor. Great visibility made it easy to spot the vital stile on the skyline. And the rain came in with some relishing the opportunity to be cool and wet. I wonder how long that novelty will last? Over to the waterfalls for a welcome break for elevenses. By a very low river to Cut Hill Stream which really was just a ruddy dribble. Very neatly up the range posts with the soft, bouncy ground making for easy going. By the peat pass and round Cut Hill as Fur Tor hove into view. A pleasant, brisk breeze made a nice spot for lunch. Signs of squalls rolling in from Cornwall but they all just missed. Time to head back the same way - all very nice. To the cars after a long walk in perfect conditions.

You really do have to be there ...
